Ask Debesis

Ask Debesis is AI assistance for planning a deployment, built on Claude. It is currently in private preview.

Its job is narrow and worth stating plainly: getting a team that has only ever deployed to virtual machines onto the platform without first hiring a platform engineer.

The rule it works under is AI proposes, a human approves. Nothing is provisioned because a model suggested it.

What it does today

1. Asks about your application — what type it is, the stack, the load you expect, and a description in your own words.
2. Proposes a set of services — which of the six you need, and why.
3. Sizes them — CPU, memory and replica counts to start from.
4. Estimates the monthly cost of that proposal.
5. Produces a step-by-step deployment guide for what it proposed.

You then review it, change what you disagree with, and deploy it yourself.

What it does not do

This is the part most people assume wrongly, so it is worth being blunt. Ask Debesis does not:

• Read your repository. It has no access to your code. What it knows is what you tell it in the questionnaire.
• Generate Dockerfiles.
• Write Terraform or any other infrastructure-as-code.
• Deploy anything automatically. It produces a plan; you carry it out.

All four are on the roadmap. None of them exist today. If you read a description of Debesis anywhere that claims otherwise, that description is wrong.

Privacy

Because it never touches your repository, the questions it asks are the only thing it knows. There is no repository scan, no code upload, and no credential access in the flow.

Roadmap

The honest matrix of preview versus roadmap lives on the marketing site at debesis.dev/draft. It is kept current deliberately — if a capability is not marked available there, it does not exist yet.
